Never heard a High Hatters I didn't like!

@NDrLoR You are right. Fortunately, there's quite a selection of their recordings in You Tube, to choose from. Although, I still have a recording or two that nobody has presented yet.

@NDrLoR I agree! Great sounds from these guys and a terrific sense of rhythm.

2:48 is my fave, part of my recent passion for black & white. BTW, I recommend a recent French movie called "The Hedgehog" in English--some interesting b&w art and a better than average plot.

@barbcard Go into Google and type: Georges Goursat (dit Sem) - French caricatourist & illustrateur of the 1900-1930s. This drawing is by him , title: Ball at the Rue Blomet (1929)

High Hatters never disappointed. Hoosier Hop is a tuneful song but in their hands become more classy. Love the pictures too as always Grzegorz, specially those of Joan Crawford in state of grace! Thanks for sharing!

@Lostintimes1 Isn't it amazing, a small in-house band without long history, sudedenly becomes one of the best bands ever recording in the hot dance era? I think, it must have been Leonard Joy's personality, that was able to squeeze out to the last drop all these anonymous musicians he chose to play in his band.

GRANDE VITA PRIMA DELLA GRANDE CRISI!!

[240252]

@danilogiotto Yes, it's sad to realize, that really HAPPY music was exactly "la dernier cri" of a "Happy Life" just a minute or two before the explosion of a Great Depression.

[dzheger]

Wonderful rhythm! There seem to be no end to the dances they invented in the 20's. I love the painting a la Cadmus with the partying sailors at 2:34. I think they're dancing to this exact music.

[240252]

@dzheger It's "Silver Slipper" by Waldo Peirce. I also like that painting a lot!
